REVIEW: |
This
release from the Faces presents the band in some recordings for the BBC in
1970, from the label’s description:
“The early
years of The Faces were characterised by uproarious onstage performances and
two disappointing studio albums that failed to capture their onstage
excitement. We are fortunate that they were regular visitors to the BBC where
their regular appearances on TV and radio proved just how good they were. The
tracks here are taken from three high quality 1970 radio broadcasts. Nine
tracks give the flavour of a Faces gig – just loose enough to be exciting and
versatile enough to include Northern Soul, R&B, acoustic folk songs and a
Bob Dylan cover”. The many appearances of the Faces on BBC radio shows was
largely due to John Peel liking them so much and inviting them whenever
possible.
What we have here is bit a
small sample of these recordings, brought back to life in the most fitting condition
on a vinyl album.
In fact the output sound here is excellent although in mono
and packaging quite lavish; according to the back cover a second volume should
come out.
